Default Remove heater questions

Greetings

I have a 75 stock AC vett with auto trans and the smog stuff is removed.

I live in Florida and Im not going to drive it during the few cold days we have here

I want to remove the heater hoses and plug the necessary parts.

Will this cause a problem with the coolant recovery sys?

What hoses should I remove/plug?

I would like to simplify the car.

Thanx in advance

You can just remove the heater hoses and install screw in plugs into the engine and water pump openings where the hoses attach. These plugs can be purchased at Advance, etc. This will cause no problems.
